Hank Graff Chevrolet understands that when you need a quality SUV for your family, there are so many factors involved. Today, we’ll focus on two standouts in this class. When you’re looking for a Chevy Traverse for sale, see how it matches up against the Ford Explorer.

Power & Performance

Both the Chevy Traverse and Ford Explorer come with solid engines, but while the Ford Explorer’s basic trims include just a four-cylinder (turbocharged as it is), the Chevy Traverse offers standard V6 power.

The optional all-wheel drive system is powered through a nine-speed automatic transmission. If you opt for the available trailering package, the Chevy Traverse is rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs.

The Ford Explorer’s inferior powertrain cannot handle its weight. The Chevy Traverse has a clear advantage here, with its V6 engine more than equal to the task of carrying its big frame.

Free Trials & Services

Both models offer free trials of several bundled connective services, such as roadside assistance and accident notification, live crisis assistance during weather emergencies on the Chevy Traverse. The Ford Explorer offers remote door and engine control via an app.

The Chevy Traverse pulls ahead when it comes to these kinds of outside services, as it comes with one free scheduled maintenance visit during the first 12 months. The Ford Explorer lacks this offer.

Infotainment & Interior Features

Both the Chevy Traverse and the Ford Explorer offer similar-sized touchscreens and integration of your digital devices via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity.

The Chevy Traverse once again prevails here, with its intuitive design flow and crisp, responsive display. You won’t see any lag as you sync your navigation, driver information, and audio needs across your digital platforms.
